Caught a cold? Don't panic!

So here we go again, the second time in this season that I caught a cold. During winter is difficult to always stay healthy. However, before reaching for popular painkillers, which normally fight the fever, too, try something different first.

I love treating a cold with natural methods. They often are more beneficial to our body than synthetic pills. My regular team of fever-fighters consists of: honey, turmeric, garlic, so called dog rose (rosa canina) infusion, raspberry juice and lemon. Due to the considerable concentration of vitamin C, they can be very helpful in reducing high temperature, dealing with cough and runny nose. They also act as natural antibiotics which kill the virus. I mix all these things or eat the separately, e.x. I drink several cups of infusions a day and add chopped garlic to what I eat. You are free to add other herbs and stuff you like.

The results may not be as fast as when taking a pill, but they do come up and your body will definitely be grateful to you in the future. Of course, I also take pills if I can handle no more or the pain is unbearable, but I try to start with less “heavy” means first. Why don’t you check it out the next time you feel bad?

I can’t say I was among them, because you just can’t compare getting money from your parents to finding a gift under the bed in the morning. I remember writing letters to Santa and giving them to parents so they would send them to him. Of course, the letters never gone any farther, but the presents always came on time. How was it possible?! It is a really nice tradition and I think children should be let to believe in Santa Claus. It’s a part of a childhood, just like the Tooth Fairy. Nowadays, I don’t expect my parents to give me anything. I’ve grown up and Santa only comes to the smaller ones. However, I don’t object if they want to give me a little something :) I’m still their child.

It's here!

People are spending more time outside with their families and friends, everyone seems to be having more energy. It’s good time to start a new activity or to take up a hobby. Personally, I feel more positive about everything. I hope the next days will be as warm as today. The weather forecast says it’ going to be 19 degrees in a few hours! I’m planning to go out running and enjoy the sun. I usually go jogging near Warta river, which is also famous for attracting a different type of spring lovers – students from Poznan gather on Warta banks to talk, drink and grill. It’s a lot of fun, too!

Let's have some pizza

What the best pizza in your city is like? This question may seem a bit difficult to answer because everyone likes different kinds of this famous Italian dish. I have friends who prefer “the polish pizza”, which is made with a thick pastry and a lot of ingredients on the top. Don’t forget to add some ketchup, too (my Italian friend from Erasmus program nearly got a heart attack when he learned that Polish people do that)! Frankly, after one piece of such a dish you can eat no more. Personally, I have been a fan of this particular kind for a long time. When organizing friends gatherings we used to order some “polish pizza” from a tiny pizzeria in Poznan and it was a great addition. Nonetheless, lately I switched to the REAL pizza and I have to say I like it very much. It doesn’t have a thick pastry and a tone of ingredients on it, but the flavour is worth it. You do not normally eat it with any ketchup or salsa – you should use some oil, like vinegar one. The taste is more sophisticate...

Almost perfect
